- Each strategy uses identical logic for backtesting AND live trading
on_bar()method processes bars the same way regardless of mode- No separate backtest vs live code paths
- Data Source: yfinance API
- Symbol: EURUSD=X (major forex pair)
- Date Range: February 3, 2025 to February 3, 2026 (exactly 1 year from today)
- Timeframe: 1H candles (hourly), with daily fallback if unavailable
- Data Points: ~6,149 hourly bars fetched successfully
- Each .py file runs independently
- No cross-dependencies between strategy files
- Direct execution:
python strategies/01_rsi_momentum.py
Every strategy file includes:
- Strategy class with parameters
- Indicator calculation methods
on_bar()for bar-by-bar processingshould_enter()andshould_exit()for signal validationrun_backtest()function with full execution- Performance metrics calculation:
- Total Trades
- Win Rate (%)
- ROI (%)
- Max Drawdown (%)
- Sharpe Ratio

Execute historical backtest
1. Fetch data via yfinance
2. Calculate indicators
3. Loop through bars calling on_bar()
4. Track trades and equity
5. Calculate and print performance metrics
"""
# ... implementationEach backtest calculates:
- Total Trades: Complete buy/sell cycles
- Win Rate:
(winning_trades / total_trades) × 100 - ROI:
((final_capital - initial_capital) / initial_capital) × 100 - Max Drawdown:
max((equity - running_max) / running_max) - Sharpe Ratio:
(mean_return / std_return) × √252(annualized)
Starting capital: $10,000
Install required packages:
pip install yfinance pandas numpyAlready installed in your environment ✅
- Run backtests - Test each strategy to see historical performance
- Compare results - Identify which strategies work best for EUR/USD
- Parameter optimization - Tune indicator periods and thresholds
- Add risk management - Position sizing, stop losses, take profits
- Paper trade - Test with live data feed (no real money)
- Go live - Connect to broker API (MetaTrader, IBKR, Alpaca, etc.)
- Data limitations: yfinance forex data may be limited; strategies handle fallback to daily data
- No slippage modeled: Backtest assumes exact fills at close prices
- No transaction costs: Add broker spread/commission for realistic results
- Overfitting risk: Past performance ≠ future results; validate on out-of-sample data
- Time zones: Data timestamps in UTC; adjust for your local market hours
Status: ✅ COMPLETE
Deliverables:
